So how does this rule grab you:  You go by best record, but if you were beaten by another team with only one more loss than you, they jump over you.  Hence, Vandy and OU clearly need to be below us because we beat them head to head and we only have one more loss than them.

Lessens the negative value of one shitty loss and vastly increases the value of head to head.

The team that played the system is ND and they will continue to schedule bullshit games until they are punished.  They are the only team that sets their entire opponent schedule must be nice to guarantee yourself 9 wins every year.

How about no committee and only automatic qualifiers.

Professional sports leagues have been doing it for a long, long time.

And one of them a really bad loss

 

Exactly.

 

Some of you need to relax and accept that we are going to the Citrus Bowl to play most likely Michigan.

 

ACTUALLY—Vanderbilt isn’t getting in either. And if they are ranked ahead of us, then they will go to the Citrus and we will go to either the Gator or Texas lol

Gator - most likely vs. Virginia

Texas bowl - anyone want to play Houston lol

In pro sports, the divisions and leagues have parity. Doesn't work like that in college sports.

Something a few folks on this website (and in college football in general) keep missing is this: the committee isn’t static.

 

They change members all the time. This means different biases, different points of emphasis, and different interpretations of the criteria and what it means. This is harmful to the sport.

It can. Figure it out. Maybe it means the SEC and Big Ten go their own way. There's your two conferences. Set up divisions. And away we go.

The level of bitchassedness in this post is staggering. Those schedules are set years in advance, for one. Do you think that every P4 team just magically has room in their schedule to do this? That it just happens by magic? You think we wouldn't accept non-con games from A&M or whoever you're delusional. It's them who refuses to play us. Considering how they fared against us in big 12 play, can't say I blame them.

Also, how's it our fucking fault that Oregon State became one of the worst teams in college football this season? They weren't supposed to be great, but they were supposed to be at least competent. We can't control that shit.

And yeah, congrats on playing Ohio State, that game was very entertaining, but what did either team ultimately get out of that? And don't pretend you didn't schedule 3 dogass opponents to beat up on after that.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

What other schools did Hocutt approach? Oregon State, NC State, and MS State definitely demonstrates a pattern. 
 

I will credit Tech for trying to make it look good. Indiana said fuck it, dared people to come after them for it, and then went on some finger pointing rant about Ole Miss.

Indiana absolutely did. The fact that they're #2 is blasphemy.

That’s his second arrest at a stadium this season and he got booted from a section of DKR. Also, not so sure they’re playing off.

It's very very needed. The whole reason this thing went sideways to begin with was a concentration of power. The Big 12 circa 2008 was a really good conference. Had they not fucked up originally and grabbed Arkansas instead of letting Ann Richards bully Baylor's way in. After the breakup in 2010/11 lead to a concentration of power in the SEC that hurt our ability to recruit at the same level. 

I personally would enjoy a 64 team league with 8/8 team divisions with Texas paired up in a group like this: 

Arkansas

Missouri

Nebraska

Oklahoma

Oklahoma St

Texas

Texas A&M

Texas Tech

 

Leaves you 5 out of division slots to schedule whomever else you want.

SEC refs arent letting Alabama lose this game but after this game if Bama gets boat raced in the championship game, maybe there's a chance.  

Bama that has a voodoo curse on Georgia?  That Bama?

They didn’t keep a 2nd ACC team out after losing in the CCG last year. They for damn sure aren’t going to keep Bama out for losing the SEC CCG game this year

There's absolutely no reason to have human beings (or computers) involved in deciding who makes a college football playoff.

Agreed, win your division and you're in. It's baffling college football thinks they're too good for this model. So odd.

If they qualify, they qualify. The point is, no more committee picks. Set up a system that ends it for good. 

4 SEC, 4 Big10, 3 ACC, 3 Big12, 2 G5. Notre Dame can join a conference if they’d like to participate

Or no G5 and stop playing championship level football with the Big 12 and ACC. If they want to play big boy college football, join the SEC or Big Ten.

Agreed. It's the only way to fix the OOC stuff. There would be no penalty for going 0-3 out of conference.

Yet we get hammered for Florida and they're gifted with #2 and a first round bye.

Yep. Headline is absolutely correct. "As things stand, IU football is right to avoid Power 4 teams in non-conference schedule" 

Indiana 2025 non conference games

Old Dominion, Kennesaw State, Indiana State

None of those games should count as wins for tournament consideration, but the committee is rewarding them with #2.  

Indiana gets the message loud and clear. They cancelled UVA for 2027 and 2028 and replaced them with Kennesaw State and Austin Peay.

The Big12 would kill for 3 guaranteed spots. ACC probably would too

Why would the SEC/Big 10 agree to that? 2 G5? Dafuq?

It's a 12 team playoff and Texas is a top 10 team.  We should be in.  No one wants to play us right now.  We are better than ND and Miami and we fucking beat OU and Vandy.  Michigan lost.  The committee isn't the AP, they can move us up 10 spots.  And if playing the #1 team on the road and losing by 7 costs Texas a playoff berth there will be consequences across the entire sport with respect to scheduling.
